OF THE BOARD:
On June 24,
1994,
the Illinois Attorney General, on behalf
of the People of the State of Illinois and the Illinois
Environmental Protection Agency, filed
a formal complaint naming
Asbestos Control and Environmental Services Corp.
as a
respondent.
On the same day, the parties filed a stipulation and
proposal for settlement accompanied by a request for relief from
the requirements of Section 31(a) (1) of the Environmental
Protection Act
(Act) that proposed stipulated settlements be
presented at public hearing.
(415 ILCS 5/31(a)(1)
(1992).)
Section 31(a)(2) of the Act provides that whenever a
complaint has been filed on behalf of the Agency or by the People
of the State of Illinois, the parties may file with the Board a
stipulation and proposal for settlement accompanied by a request
for relief from the requirement of a hearing.
The Board is
required to cause notice of the stipulation, proposal and request
for relief to be published, unless the Board in its discretion,
concludes that a hearing is necessary.
The notice is required to
include a statement that any person may file a written demand for
hearing within 21 days after receiving the notice.
If any person
files a timely written demand for hearing, the Board shall deny
the request for relief from a hearing and
hold a hearing.
The Board accordingly directs the Clerk to cause publication
of the required newspaper notice.
The Board will reserve ruling
on the parties’ request until after the statutory 21 days has
passed.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
